Player Watch #27: Miller Bergman - BFNAAK - Extends to end of 2025 - returns to the team against the Eagles

[justroyal]

Why can’t these players put on muscle or weight with everything at their disposal!? (Gym, training, diet, food)

**** me pull your finger out you lazy ****s and hit the gym

It’s not all their fault, but you’re right. Our strength and conditioning hasn’t looked the same since Maj and Taz were training in there.

We keep drafting guys who aren’t necessarily built for putting on mass. Coincidentally, they’re not even built for speed, perhaps they’re all really good slow aerobic runners? Not like they could come top 100 in the MELB Marathon type of running, but more like, you’d back them to complete the first leg of the UTMB without the emergency team tapping them out on day one.

Here’s an example.
Miller, Stephenson, McDonald, Fisher, Corr, Scott.

Feels like Jy could be included here.

Feel sorry for Miller has had a horrible run with injuries this year, big preseason ahead hope he comes back bigger and stronger.

Archer took a while to get his body right. Just hopes he gets a clean run at it as I think he has a lot of upside.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Cannot take a trick injury wise. Of all the people to smash in to you… Dylan ****ing Stephens? I mean come on.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Gone end of next year you'd think. Big preseason needed to have a chance of staying on after 2025.

Number 1 should show him where the NMFC gym is located

It's a shame. Courageous as anything and decent skills but a string bean.

Make or break year coming up for Bergs. Club loves his composure, but his ability to compete physically is holding him back.

Been told to get stronger if he wants to play AFL footy in 2025.

 

[Kofi]

heard he is on 6 meals a day in an attempt to put on some kgs.

Pies, pasties, fried dim Sims, chicko rolls and pizza. No chicken treat nuggets though, just in case.

Just get him to spend the Christmas period with my Greek family. He will come back 10kg heavier within the fortnight

Health food of a nation.

I live for the yearly updates from Roo

I was told a bit ago that a lot of the boys in their exit meetings has been told to really hit the gym this preseason or its over

Music to my ears

On the money mate, plenty of those fringe types have been told it’s time to shape up when it comes to their physiques. Bergman, Fisher, Stephens, Ford & Stephenson ect were all told to start sorting their standards out when it comes to their bodies.

 

[madjoe]

stood on glass while in bali and got a tummy bug, needless to say next year can only get better.

Add a bike collision or two and that sounds like a standard bali tour

Been some really harsh truths. We've been coasting along way too long.

I've been criticising our lack of gym for years now and IMO its going to make a huge difference to our club going forward.

 

[king rising]

Can’t see this bloke making the grade. Skinny, injury prone half back flanker.

His defensive issues notwithstanding, for a hard-running winger Stephens doesn't look like he needs much more muscle to me.

With Stephens it's overall strength, rather than extra muscle. Needs to be able to keep his feet better in the content and when he is tackling.
